Answer to Question 1

Traditional authority is power that is legitimized on the basis of long-standing custom. In

preindustrial societies, the authority of traditional leaders, such as kings, queens,

pharaohs, emperors, and religious dignitaries, is usually grounded in religious beliefs and

custom. Members of subordinate classes obey a traditional leader's edicts out of

economic and political dependency and sometimes personal loyalty. As societies

industrialize, traditional authority is challenged by a more complex division of labor and

by the wider diversity of people. Charismatic authority is power legitimized on the basis

of a leader's exceptional personal qualities or the demonstration of extraordinary insight

and accomplishment that inspire loyalty and obedience from followers. Charismatic

authority tends to be temporary and relatively unstable it derives primarily from

individual leaders (who may change their minds, leave office, or die) and from an

administrative structure usually limited to a small number of faithful followers. The

most stable form of authority is rationallegal authority, which is legitimized and

encoded in written laws and regulations. With rationallegal authority, the power is

invested in the position or office, not in the individual person who occupies it.
